Re: I HAVE TIME TRAVELED FROM THE YEAR 2040 to 2010, AND I'M STUCK HERE!

What is the purpose of sending people back in time just to relive some of the hardest bits of our history? If you have no way to report your findings to them, and there is no danger for you in the future.. why would they send you to the past?

Re: I HAVE TIME TRAVELED FROM THE YEAR 2040 to 2010, AND I'M STUCK HERE!

does racism exist in the future..how can a simple man provide and save his family in the upcoming events..we have the alp here in germany similar to rocky mountains..does that work, i was eyeing with buying a cabin there even before i read your post, i dont know nothing about hunting etc...i feel stupid now.

If he was 2 years old when the internet went down, and he came back just 11 days before joining this site, how could he learn the internet and these "primitive" computers. Im sure that when his father told him about the "orange glow" of the burning cities that these computers would of been destroyed. If they made new computers in the late 2020's (since he moved back around 2027 or 28), I assume they would be pretty neat with more cooler options. Do they use keybords in the future? Looks like computers are going more for the "multi touch" screen. If not, how does he know his way around a keyboard so well?( I would think that learning the keys would take some time. I can only guess that it takes a very long time to write such long posts since he would be looking around at all these mixed up keys on this plastic thing.) So lets see, in 11 days he bought a computer and learned all this so quickly? Or did he befriend someone very fast and stayed with them and used their computer? How, in 11 days, does he learn this? Did the internet come back in the late 2020's? And if Boulder only has around 300+ people in the late 20's, did they start to build more futureistic ways of life? is the internet in the future more like a transponder type with no wires anywhere? Please explain

Re: I HAVE TIME TRAVELED FROM THE YEAR 2040 to 2010, AND I'M STUCK HERE!

I can tell you everything about the cabin I lived in for over 15 years. How we hunted and foraged for food and supplies. What happened to the rest of the world, I don't think anyone has the full story. You talk to people and they tell you some stories and their "theories" about what happened, but its all conjecture.

Elaborate on those stories. BTW, you can prove your story easily. Do a DNA test along with yourself on this time. People here could offer their assistance to do it. I mean, who could deny in participating in a story that could involve a time traveler?

So, your excuse will be... what now?

I don't necessarily have a problem with someone taking my DNA now, but how would you possibly get the DNA from my younger self living in Boulder Colorado in 2010. I guess that is what I have a problem with. What if you decide to kill me? I wouldn't let anyone near my younger self. I won't even go near my younger self.

I will gladly elaborate, I spent 15+ years out there in the wilderness of the mountains. But please, so I don't bore anyone, tell me what you want me to elaborate on?

I can tell you how we store food. Where we built a shelter in the mountain caves. How we heated the cabin, where we buried our dog Brutus. How we hunted mountain goats and caught fish in the streams. My dad had a system for everything and he taught me.

You tell me what you want me to elaborate on, I'll elaborate. but its all pretty boring, 15 years away from civilization. I remember learning to read by candlelight. Learning to type on an old typewriter. I remember it all.

Re: I HAVE TIME TRAVELED FROM THE YEAR 2040 to 2010, AND I'M STUCK HERE!

Rule 1, I can't kill anybody.Rule 2, I can't say or do anything that would result in someones death.Rule 3, I can't prevent someone from dying who was supposed to die.

There is still a lot I can say without breaking the rules.

Then your understanding of time travel/time mechanics is highly flawed.

You hold the position action or inaction etc etc is what would kill someone; however, even speaking (as per the butterfly effect, the cascade effect, spiral theory, etc) would radically alter the course of someone's life.

For example, you have denoted the month and year you were born, and have denoted a generalised region within which to search. If one was sufficiently determined, they could have simply coaxed more information out of you, cross-referenced all birth certificates in that region, and found you before you were born, and obviously, kill you.

Likewise, your words are altering the very outcome of people's lives by warning them of impending danger.

It seems to me that if you went to the Dnvr Post, you would have located the archives and you would have read about every event leading up to the mass bugout, right? If there was a quick-acting virus around and spreading, you would have known. Also, what about the pets? You would see a lot of strays. Dogs would have torn dead people apart and eaten them. If this quick death were violent, you would have seen the marks on the victims.

Also, if your crops died one year, how did you grow potatoes the next?

I'm not saying I disbelieve you (although I suppose you can infer that), but you have a lot of holes in your story. BTW, in which state is this Candle Lake located?

LOL I hear you. I partially read it one day awhile back and then left in humored disbelief. But then saw it again today and had to catch up on the latest episodes of the story. I've got to have something to do on my third day off from work because of weather.

If he were really from the future, he would have brought back some of the lottery numbers with him to fund his lifestyle while he's here. LOL

Re: I HAVE TIME TRAVELED FROM THE YEAR 2040 to 2010, AND I'M STUCK HERE!

I myself don't think the OP is from the future. First, he saying the same thing that time traveler experts talk about. Saying that he can't go back because the time machine haven't been invented yet.

If he was from the future? Those who had sent him, would had yank back to his original time line. But that depend on if it were test or a mission.

On the mission part. He would had been told the type of mission he was on. I doubt that they would had told him to go online, sign up to GLP and tell everyone that he is from the future. That isn't a time traveler mission. Their mission is to observe and gather a much information they can, before they are recall and have to return to their own time line.
